Consulting Clients

A Leading Cloud Storage Company

WHAT

A leading B2B online file sharing and content management service needed help with several strategic initiatives. Their search for a resource that could help them work through a variety of challenges led the company to Taos. They have engaged Taos for help with everything from project management and infrastructure projects, to Openstack and DevOps work.

HOW

Because of the diverse nature of the engagements, how they engage Taos’ resources varies by project, but some of the most strategic work Taos has done for them has been to help them mature their Openstack deployment and provide high-end DevOps resources. Taos provided an Openstack consultant who was well versed in the technologies the company was evaluating and could add immediate value to the team.

NOW

The client cites Taos’ flexibility, quality of technologists, and ability to provide solutions to a wide variety of challenges as key to the ongoing relationship. The consulting engagement has been extended three times and the internal client manager actively advocates for Taos. Why? Because when the client needs elite people to tackle tough problems immediately, they know they can count on Taos to find the right person in a very short amount of time.

Case Study

Taos helps a leading CRM Software company set up their DevOps environment

WHAT

For their initial engagement with Taos, this leading CRM software company went big, bringing in 10 technologists to work with key stakeholders to set up, document, and automate a key DevOps platform environment.

HOW

Initial efforts were hampered by an internal security infrastructure that limited critical access for the technologists. Once the security issues were resolved, the technologists were able to use the full palette of their skills. Taos team members integrated with the client’s teams so well that there are now several technologists participating on the client’s main full-time team in different capacities. Ultimately, Taos took over some of the communications between scripts and operational awareness in order to free up the client’s programmers and architects.

Taos was also asked to provide project management support. To that end, Taos has helped with numerous projects, moving them forward and meeting the deadlines. Taos program managers helped with the dashboards and support for their cloud projects and ecommerce projects.

NOW

Considered a collaborative partner, Taos is acknowledged for its ability to respond to requests quickly. Also noted is Taos’ reputation for delivering results that are higher in quality than its competition. This client prides itself on working with a limited number of contractors, but has designated Taos as one of their elite, preferred vendors.
